So it wasn't near Thwaites Rd. at all.
Yep, I'll concede that where that warehouse is (or was) is in Church. It figures large in my childhood memories, that place. I used to get the Blackburn bus at the stop opposite (large, green painted wooden shed - very cosy and weatherproof) and you couldn't avoid the warehouse with the canal beside it. After the war, for years, the letters E W S were painted on one wall inside the arch. Somebody told me, when I was 6, that they stood for "Enter water softly". Naturally, I believed it.
Rindy - The Twenty Steps will always be that to me. For some reason I haven't a clue about I always found that bridge and the steps a bit scary. Probably my brother telling me horror stories about it when I was small.
